This is a well made chard AND from the North Fork that ages nicely and really shines with food, like salmon and roasted tomatoes. Nose of ripe cantaloupe, bee pollen, white flowers, fennel. Really nice mouth feel, good weight, with good acidity. The palate is similar to the nose with added honey crisp apple, not sweet, and marzipan. I’ll need to get more, but maybe will see how it holds up longer.

Saved this bottle for a year, since my North Fork trip in September, 2014. Worth the wait.

Such good farmers and friends but sadly you can taste the acid addition here. Off balance
